To drive on a public street is a priveledge, because to do so without proper permission endangers others. To threaten another person with a weapon is neither a right nor a priveledge, because people have the right to be secure in their homes and lives. To speak my mind is a right, whether some authority denies it or not.

Rights are not priveledges, and priveledges are not rights. We relinquish certain rights in certain areas for the common good. That doesn't make them priveledges.
